RESERVOIR is an independent horror film that is based on actual events. It is scheduled to film at the end of August of this year.

The story is loosely based on history of The Quabbin Reservoir in Western Massachusetts. In the 1930's, four valley towns were submerged in a flood to create a reservoir for drinking water. Thousands of people had to uproot their lives and give up everything they owned. The towns which had been settled in the 1700s, were chosen for the sacrifice. Residents felt powerless to protest against the state. Starting in the 1920s, people were relocated, the bulldozers arrived, and graves exhumed. And this is where our creative take on the story picks up, with one town we call, Endersville.

In our movie, the Endersville mayor stands to make $100,000s in kick-back money from the state if he can quell the angry townspeople. However, there was one woman who just wouldn't give up, and the mayor had her murdered. The legend is, her ghost still fights to protect the town she once loved.

In the present day, a group of college-aged friends set out on a camping trip to the infamous grounds now known as the Caldersville Reservoir. The scary legend of Tabetha doesn't deter them from having a good time. After they set up camp, one by one, they start disappearing. They dismiss the idea that Tabetha's spirit is to blame, but maybe it's a serial killer, or even worse, one of their own. The campers must figure out who the killer is, and get to them first, so they're not on the chopping block next. Will the campers survive, or will their sloppy detective work get them killed?

RESERVOIR is a horror throwback film combined with the classic, who-done-it film genre.

We have funded the first part of our project with personal assets and a private investor. Now, we need to raise an additional $20,000 so we can bring you the viewers the best movie possible. Meaning better sound, spookier music, and top of the line special/practical effects.

Swot Analysis:

STRENGTHS: We have an experienced cast and crew who are seasoned in the Horror genre. We also have a great story loosely based off an Historic landmark/flood which displaced four towns in Western Massachusetts. We are also in preliminary talks with both Theatrical and DVD Distributors to get our project into the International market upon its completion.

WEAKNESSES: We dot not have a studio backed budget, however we learned that Low Budget + Classic Horror = SUCCESS. Examples are Oren Peli who made PARANORMAL ACTIVITY for $15,000 and Ed Sanchez who made The BLAIR WITCH PROJECT for $25,000. Therefore this characteristic can be used and viewed as a strength.

OPPORTUNITIES: We have a local celebrity in Chris Kellogg of 94.7 WMAS promoting and producing the project. Therefore we have the ability to create an immediate buzz in the Springfield, MA/Hartford, CT corridor where the Movie is filming on location. This territory currently has a population of over 900,000 people residing in the Metropolitan area.

THREATS: The ghost and paranormal movie market is very competitive in the modern day. However, due to competition the quality of the product increases, so it is therefore viewed as a strength.

Dawn of the Planet of the ApesA growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.

BoyhoodFilmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater's BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason's parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay's Yellow to Arcade Fire's Deep Blue. BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting.
